[verse – murmured, indirect] Under the floorboards a slow red hum circles without touching something that remembers us A thin light bends like a wire in water names dissolve before they reach the air [fragment – cut / spliced] half a sentence falling through static "—not yet—" swallowed by the room [verse – fractured chant] Mirrors drift in the corner of my sleep a pulse taps out an unfamiliar alphabet The dust rearranges itself into a shape I almost know it flickers then forgets to exist [break – abrupt silence, metallic breath] [refrain – low, ritual] Repeat the movement before the movement happens Repeat the noise before the noise begins [bridge – scattered words] hollow coils blue ash unread signal handprint of smoke corridor without walls [outro – fading, uncertain] Everything humming nothing in tune a door opens but not in this room
